Everything I said turned out to be true - Jack Murtha
http://www.startribune.com/587/story/629869.html

Now, Murtha is one of the most popular Democrats around. In recent weeks he's raised campaign money in New Hampshire, Connecticut, New York and California. In Tennessee, he was former Vice President Al Gore's guest at a fundraiser for local Democrats. After Labor Day, Murtha will head back out on the road, helping up to four dozen of his party's candidates.

He said events have proved him right.

"Everything I said has turned out to be true," Murtha said last week, taking a break at his campaign headquarters in Johnstown. "You can't win militarily. Military leaders are now saying it publicly, where they said it only privately before. I get standing ovations every place I go. The public is looking for a solution to this open-ended policy, which is killing kids."

2. And the swift Booters are gearing up
clip..
Murtha's outspokenness has made him a target. A North Carolina-based group called Vets for the Truth has launched a "Boot Murtha" campaign, inviting protesters to an Oct. 1 rally in Johnstown.

Organizer Larry Bailey is a retired Navy SEAL who said he was driven not by Murtha's stance on troop redeployment but by the congressman's assertion in May, before a thorough investigation, that Marines in Haditha had killed innocent Iraqi civilians "in cold blood."I have some misgivings myself about what's going on in Iraq," Bailey said. "Until May 17, I wasn't the least bit interested in the 12th District of Pennsylvania."

5. I understand what you're saying
A big military man will not give up unless it is obvious that we were misled and things were run poorly.

The fiasco in Iraq was not good from the get go, but the incompetence took a while to show up to a lot of people.
